Q: Vevo buffers and stutters
I constantly have what appears to be buffering problems with the Apple TV Vevo app. Specifically when watching Vevo All Hits TV. The symptoms have changed recently but the problems remain. Originally the videos would stop a few times during each song while the video buffered. Now the video no longer stops but the music does. I'm watching a song right now and I've heard probably less than 1/4 of the lyrics because they keep dropping out; it's unwatchable for me on Apple TV. This behavior is specific to the Vevo All Hits stream. If I watch another channel such as Vevo Flow then I do not have the stuttering issues. Single videos also work good. If I use any other streaming apps on Apple TV they work fine. I've tried both wired and wireless connections to see if that would help but it did not. My internet package is 100 Mbps and I regularly get speeds close to that. If I watch Vevo All Hits on my computer connected to the same internet I get a good solid stream. For me this issue has persisted for over a year and on two different Apple TVs.
Is this a known issue and is there anything I can do to improve this Apple TV stream?
AppleTV 2, tvOS 9.1, 4th Gen
